<description><![CDATA[It's late at night and I'm finishing a presentation for tomorrow, and my email tells me I just got 7 new emails.  Four of them are leads from our website (cool!), one is from Brian, one from Dharmesh (we work late at HubSpot [grin]) and one from someone I don't know with the subject &quot;Suggestion re: blog.hubspot.com&quot;.  I've been meeting a lot of folks through this blog, and figured this was someone with a comment or an idea about a new article.  Wrong.  It's an SEO consultant pitching me on why I need their help.  For your reading pleasure I have placed his email below, with what I was thinking when I read it in italics, and my email reply back to him.  Some info has been deleted to protect the guilty.  Enjoy.<br/><br/>38 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A BUSINESS strategy of The New York Times to get its articles to pop up first in Internet searches is creating a perplexing problem: long-buried information about people that is wrong, outdated or incomplete is getting unwelcome new life.People are coming forward at the rate of roughly one a day to complain that they are being embarrassed, are worried about losing or not getting jobs, or may be losing customers because of the sudden prominence of old news articles that contain errors or were never followed up.<br/><br/>18 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the major issues plaguing search engines right now is the growing list of web documents available online. While no exact numbers are available, there are billions of search results to sort through. But, they can't all be relevant both on material content and time - can they?Of course they're not, and Google is hoping to solve this problem through the adoption of the unavailable_after META tag.<br/><br/>24 Vote(s) ]]></description>
